It's Fun to Play the Piano ... Please Pass It On!

Lately I'm hooked on Brahms' third piano quartet, and I still wonder whether this quartet is an intellectual work or it's a passionate piece of music. Maybe this question represents a contradiction, but is difficult to answer, I think.

Btw, probably there will be better performances, but this one by these young musicians is so touching...

Greetings everyone! This is where I wanted to start my day to hear some good music today! While I can't spend much time writing (as I used to do), I am spending much more time at the piano, and learning new things about adjusting to being a retiree.

I've certainly been enjoying listening to everyone's posting. My biggest challenge is doing more music and less writing and talking. Rather than try to explain why, I'll just shut up and let you enjoy this!

So glad to hear that Griffin, it's all of our pleasure to see you happy with your piano - you deserved it so much, after spending so many busy years away from your love Don't worry about less writings, your contributions to RST is too enormous to mention!!! Even after your long absence I can always feel you here!

...and guess what...

WISH YOU A VERY VERY HAPPY, PROSPEROUS AND HEALTHY BIRTHDAY!!!

...and may all of your dreams come true...may you reach your ultimate goal with music

Thanks for the birthday greetings, Rupak, Richard, and Recaredo. I'll be listening to your postings a bit later this evening. I'm looking forward to it. Right now it's dinner time and my other half is preparing something special for me. I must be off. Thanks everyone!

Thanks Wayne! I had a wonderful day. I hope you are doing well. Are you preparing for another recital? Which one?

Glad you had a good one Yeah, doin' ok, cheers, currently preparing for the Tschaikovsky (does it have an 's' after 'T' ? I'm getting underlining in red.... since ie.11) recital, Poco Di Schumman lol, its'a not so bad

I'm enjoying all the wonderful Christmas music selections (it's almost the Christmas day here in India!) It's a totally inexplicable feeling of joy and happiness to listen them on this very very special occasion! Thank you so much Recaredo, Griffin, Timmy, Richard and (...um...what the!!!...anyway...)Wayne ( )for sharing them!

Here is my contribution:

Another video I've been recently introduced to by one of my seniors (who is a die-hard fan of Beethoven!) is this:

Though it's not exactly appropriate for this occasion (or is it, for any joyous occasion? ) but it really touched me! So couldn't help sharing

Loved the 'Flash Mob - Ode to Joy' cheers Rupak Timmyab, really hope the happy thoughts give you comfort <3 One last 'Happy Chrimbo' from me, hope you guys have a great day, and rest of days Speak soon friends
